Datamapper, defining your own object methods, how?
- by Dublinclontarf
So lets say I have a class like below
class List
include DataMapper::Resource
property :id, Serial
property :username, String
def self.my_username
return self[:username]
end
end
list=List.create(:username=>,'jim')
list.my_username
When I run this it tells me that the method cannot be found, and on more investigation that you can only define class methods(not object methods) and that class methods don't have access to objects data.
Is there any way to have these methods included as object methods and get access to object data? I'm using Ruby 1.8.6 and the latest version of datamapper.
